Summary: Entered the property to huge dead roaches and dirty dishes in the dishwasher. Appeared the property had not been properly cleaned prior to our arrival. Water shut off at 9 pm. Was resolved in a timely fashion but should have never happened. Pool was not cleaned out.

Summary: Our family had an amazing week at 181 Glen Abbey. We loved everything about your well appointed home. The adults especially all enjoyed the comfort of King size beds for the 3 couples. The children had a big time in the pool. Your location is excellent. So nice to take the short walk along the beautiful path to the beach. Perfect!

Summary: We very much enjoyed our stay. 181 is a beautiful home. We all lives the walk to the beach over the bridge, cooked some great meals in the well equipped kitchen, and had lots of fun in the pool. The locks on the sliding glass doors in the back of the house are broken making it impossible to lock the house up and despite following the provided directions for the hot tub to the letter we were never able to get it going.
